How flexible is the comprehensive plan?

We are about finished with ours...We are close to an interstate highway that has a commercially zoned property in an unincorporated area that is not currently in our growth plan. The landowner is more aggressive about selling the property than those in our planned growth area, so there is a good chance development will happen farther out first. How would you handle this?

Involuntary annexation. Seriously I would look at intergovernmental agreements like they use in Johnson County.

All plans are guides for the elected official to use as they wish...weak and they fold early...strong and they lose the following election........so it is the middle3 ground one strives for with crossed fingers.
